Abstract

An aircraft pylon comprising a primary structure and a pipe segment having an internal duct positioned inside at least one structural tube primary structure. This solution makes it possible to reduce the crowding outside the structural tubes of the primary structure, makes it easier to integrate other equipment inside the pylon, and may help to improve the aerodynamic performance of the pylon by reducing its cross section.
